Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (24) Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (24) “Miss Long, congratulations,” Wang Zhenzhen said as she approached Gu Shengyin with a glass of wine in hand.
Gu Shengyin, aware of the plot, naturally understood Wang Zhenzhen’s character. This girl had always felt inferior, especially after getting together with Xia Ziqing. She often encountered things she had never faced before, which made her feel ignorant.
At this moment, it wasn’t easy for her to muster the courage to come over and offer her congratulations.
“Thank you,” Gu Shengyin said with a smile, clinking her glass against hers.
Being face-to-face with Gu Shengyin made Wang Zhenzhen quite embarrassed. She knew that Xia Ziqing was her ex-boyfriend, and Gu Shengyin had once told her what kind of person her ex-boyfriend was.
Choosing to be with him in the end always made her feel like she was disregarding someone else’s kindness.
“Do you blame me?” she eventually asked.
In such a situation, aside from Xia Ziqing, Gu Shengyin was about the only other person she could speak to.
Gu Shengyin suddenly laughed, “What right do I have to blame you? Xia Ziqing and I have long broken up, and it’s perfectly normal for both of us to seek new relationships. You see, I am even engaged now. As for you choosing Xia Ziqing in the end…”
She looked earnestly at Wang Zhenzhen, “Everyone makes choices, and as long as you are accountable to yourself, that’s enough. Zhenzhen, I’m here wishing you happiness.”
Wang Zhenzhen looked at Gu Shengyin, sensing that her words were heartfelt.
She raised her glass, “Thank you.”
Just then, she saw Gu Shengyin’s fiance approaching.
Wang Zhenzhen had heard about this man from Xia Ziqing–he was said to be a tremendously powerful figure, and even someone of Xia Ziqing’s status paled in comparison.
She was somewhat curious about how Gu Shengyin managed to get along with such a man.
“Tired?” she heard the man ask.
“Of course I’m tired, my feet are killing me. It’s your fault for choosing this dress, forcing me to wear these high heels…” Gu Shengyin complained half-jokingly to the man.
“I’ll have the banquet end early…”
The man wrapped his arm around Gu Shengyin’s waist, allowing her to lean on him for support. As their voices faded, they walked further away together.
Wang Zhenzhen stood there holding her glass, somewhat mesmerized.
The so-called Invisible Emperor of City A, the Fourth Master, was just an ordinary man in love in the presence of his beloved.
And the formidable and sharp CEO of Long’s, in his presence, was just a woman who could act coquettishly and complain.
Wang Zhenzhen remembered how in her relationship with Xia Ziqing, she always held back, always felt unworthy of him, often making Xia Ziqing very irritated. Wasn’t this eroding their relationship too?
“Zhenzhen, you’re here? Why didn’t you tell me, I was so worried,” Xia Ziqing said worriedly as he approached.
Wang Zhenzhen suddenly smiled, quickening her pace to his side, “Ziqing, I’m a bit cold.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Ziqing took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, “Just hold on a little longer, the banquet will end soon. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to leave the Fourth Uncle’s banquet early.”
Feeling the warmth from his coat, Wang Zhenzhen blissfully narrowed her eyes, “Hmm.”
Perhaps, she thought, it was time for her to open up completely, to face this man and nurture their love.
